For some, it was that special connection with a grandparent or a football coach, a boss, or a cleric. For a young physicist struggling to find his place in the world, the relationship that would most profoundly influence his life was with his mentor, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman.

Der Titel weckt Erwartungen. Doch das Buch enttäuscht sie in erschreckendem Maße, es kann nicht einmal vom Feynman-Effekt profitieren. Die Auslassungen des Autors sind größtenteils belanglos, maniriert und teilweise auch peinlich. Bücher von und über Feynman werden halt gekauft und gelesen, mögen sich Autor und Verlag gedacht haben - und was mich betrifft hatten sie damit sogar leider Recht. Es gibt mit Abstand bessere Bücher über Feynman, Regenbögen, die Suche nach Schönheit, die Physik und das Leben. ( )

That's all we can hope for in life, and in the years since he's passed on, I've found it to be a valuable lesson.
